Rump Tail

Rump tail is the tapered end of the rump—smaller pieces suited to steaks, stir-fry strips, and quick sears. Flavour matches rump; size means faster cooking and a risk of drying if left on heat too long. Cut across the grain into steaks or strips, cook hot and brief, rest. Good value when whole rump is broken down. Marinate strips for stir-fries if desired.
